just wondering who would win a horsepower shootout between these two great bikes. | ||
| Tripper |
X1 easily. But it's such a fat pig next to the Firebolt or the S1 that preceded it. | ||
| Tripp |
FAT PIG!!!! LMAO | ||
| Tripper |
Hey Tripp, Dave Tripp here. You really live on Cape Cod? You know Kezar Lake in Maine? I got kin there, it's awesome. You gonna make the end of the Northeast Brag tour? | ||

The XB9 is quicker, revs more easer , but that’s against a X 1 with euro pulley’s , racekit & porting  | ||
| Redstripe |
Now what bike would You mean by that, Martin!? LOL It could depend on the rider, You know? Had a great time last week, should do that more often. Groet, Jill. | ||
| Bud |
Yep, Jill your bike. On Bikehospitals, dyno-computer you can let both bikes dyno curves compare like a race . I won. LMFAO Were you holding back then, last week ???? Gr, martin ps. it was great, we should really do it more often | ||
| Tripp |
hey tripper! i'll definitely be there! i'm still figuring out where i'll join the group but i am!!woohoo!! i'll let u know in a few weeks! | ||
| Redstripe |
Nope, not really. However, I'm not revving it past the limiter first 500 kms, but that's not the x1's forte. So there You are. Easy's dropping by this evening; I'll make measurements for his new helmet. It's a Bieffe naked, familiar with it? LOL J. | ||
| Bud |
J. yep, he did call me yesterday evening, if had any plan's to go to the bikehospital. i past, otherwise marcel will think i'm stalking  ps. the helmet is F%4$# cold, this morning my mouth was sore of frostbite | ||
| Redstripe |
Really think so? Honestly; I've ridden with it for two years including Dutch winters, never had too much trouble... Guess it's the Simpson-transfer on it, then? LOL Couldn't be it takes a real man to wear one! For winter, You could temporarily tape the air-sleeves from the inside? Succes, Jill. | ||

CAN U LIVE WITH XB9 AS ONLY RIDE? HAVE 99 X1,WANT ONLY ONE BIKE.THE X1 SO FAR HAS BEEN GREAT FUN,BUT THE XB9 BUG HAS HIT.NEW IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER! HELP !! TOM NYC | ||

My X-1 stock is faster than the race kitted XB9R at Denneys H-D Buell. So no comparo. But the XB sure is easier to turn and feels VERY quick to excelerate and stops like...NOW! Wheelies and stoppies are WAY to easy. Rode both thurs, just to compare. Tom, you just need to ride one for a while, I did about half an hour on one and my wrists and elbows were starting to ache pretty bad. But I have lots of joint problems. I couldn't do it full time. XB9S maybe, I haven't ridden one, but it seems a little better. Pilk edited by pilk on June 21, 2003 | ||

i have both bikes, with race kits and the X1 is WAY faster than the 9S. especially in the mid-range, the X1 has MUCH more grunt. as for comfort, again, i find the X1 more comfortable (both with buell custom seats). the 9S is 10-15 degrees more upright, and for some reason, thats actually harder on my back. but having said all that, the 9S is an unbelievable piece of machinery! if it had more power, it would definitely be my pick. i'd put on lower bars, or clip-ons though.
